Client reviews
Sir Robert McAlpine logo

"I've worked with UIS for several years on some high profile and very complex projects. Their attitude and work ethic are second to none - providing high quality services and products which are delivered safely and on time every time. Overall they are a pleasure to do business with and wouldn't hesitate recommending UIS for any steelwork or metalwork packages."

Start to finish

One team, from drawing to installed.

Every North East order is drawn, cut and welded at our South Yorkshire base, then delivered and bolted together on site by the same firm. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor. Working to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and UKCA marked, with output of about 100 tonnes a month, we handle primary and secondary steel, portal frames, mezzanines and staircases for commercial and industrial buildings.

FAQs

Yes. We work across North East and beyond, with our own design, fabrication and installation teams.

Yes. We design, fabricate to BS EN 1090, and install structural steelwork with our own directly employed teams, so one team owns the project from drawing to handover, and the aftercare that follows.

Every project is priced on its drawings, tonnage, finish and access. Send us a drawing or a one line brief and you will get a fixed quote, not a ballpark.

Standard programmes run 4 to 6 weeks from approved drawings to installed. Tighter programmes are quoted against your deadline.
